Leicester City Football Club can confirm that plans are now in place for the next stage of a ‘singing section’ trial at King Power Stadium for January’s Emirates FA Cup fixture against Watford.
Having successfully trialled singing sections among unreserved sections of seating for fixtures against Wigan Athletic and Brighton over recent seasons, the Club will now move forward with an enhanced trial for the Watford fixture on Saturday 8 January (3pm GMT kick-off), as the Club begins its first ever defence of the trophy we lifted in May.
Further to supporter feedback, the next stage of the trial will take place in the SK1 area of the South Stand between Rows M to PP; seats 1 to 29 and seats 208-218, testing the effectiveness of such a section in a core area of home support. As the section is occupied by a high number of Season Ticket Holders, the decision to proceed with the trial was taken only after Season Ticket Holders had been given the opportunity to claim their normal seats during the first week of sales.
Supporter feedback from previous singing section trials have commended its contribution to the matchday experience, bringing like-minded supporters together to generate noise, colour and an enhancement to the atmosphere in the entire stadium.
Season Ticket Holders that have purchased a ticket in other areas of the stadium and wish to relocate to the singing section may now contact the Ticket Office to do so. Equally, any supporters who have already purchased in this area and do not wish to take part in the trial, will be given the opportunity to relocate their seat to another area of the stadium by contacting the Ticket Office on 0344 815 5000 (Option 1).
